[mythtv-users] lirc with nebula remote won't work

[Ryan Duffy]

Having some serious trouble getting lirc working with my Nebula DigiTV remote, which is supposedly natively supported by the 2.6.16 kernel. I'm using Debian, and uptodate mythtv 0.19 fixes.

I've read all the forums, and tried a million different things but it just won't work. I'm sure I'm just doing some dumb.

kern.log finds the remote:
kernel: input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input0
kernel: input: PS2++ Logitech Wheel Mouse as /class/input/input1
kernel: input: bttv IR (card=104) as /class/input/input2
kernel: bttv-input: bttv IR (card=104) detected at pci-0000:04:07.0/ir0

I have entries in /home/mythtv/.lircrc such as:
begin
    prog = mythtv
    remote = Nebula_DVB
    button = 4
    config = 4
end

begin
    prog = mythtv
    remote = Nebula_DVB
    button = 5
    config = 5
end

I have a symlink from /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc to /home/mythtv/.lircrc.

I have /etc/lirc/lircd.conf set up as:

When I do irw I get no output at all. When I do 'ircat mythtv' I get no output at all.
However, if I look in /var/log/daemon.log when running irw or ircat, the remote keypresses are being detected there:

Can anyone spot anything dumb in my setup? Any suggestions on what else I can do to try and make it work?

Thanks very much!
